The Greenville Piedmont of Wednes
day publishes a story to the effect that
a prominent Anderson county farmer
of the Brushy Creek section, who was
a visitor to that bur- Wednesday,
"expressed the hope in conversation
that Borne day Brushy Creek town
ship or at least a large part of it.
may be taken out of Anderson and
annexed to Greenville . county."
That a .great many Anderson coun
ty people'^itf^the* extr?me' northern
portion of the county, especially up
in the Georgia Creek section and along
the 8aluda river feel kindly toward
Greenville and even sympathizes with
her-is no doubt a fact, but we'd be
willing to wager our new hat against
The Piedmont's entire plant that
there's npt three, native Anderson
county men in that entlro region, if the
question were put to a vote who would
bo In favor of a foot of Anderson
county going to Greenville county,
even if it \ ere passible to move tho
line that now separates tho two coun
ties-tho Saluda river.
If the Piedmont should happen to
doubt thia we'd suggest that it "start
the movement and have the election."
It is very inconvenient,-it is true,
for tho people in that section to come
to Anderson to do all their shopping,
etc., but it is no.less a hardship-in
the event of the Piedmont's" dream
than being forced to go to Greenville
"to transact legal business." Brushy
Creek is one of the greatest states in
tho Un-or tho banner township of the
world, and the only real criticism that
has ever been made of it waa this
very thing; viz: a small slfpe of lt la
within seven or eight milos of Green
ville.
If it la agreeable with the folks up
there you may have all of Plckens
county. If you want lt. but narry Bingle
foot of Anderson, old Scout.

Tho public schooin are '.o produce
good citizens. That is why taxes
are paid to support education. Now,
a good citizen ls. a person who is
characterized by love, peace, Joy,
gentleness, long suffering, goodness,
faith, temperance.- meakness,. These
are the fruits of the spirit. ' They
don't come from the intellect, know
ledge,, mental discipline*, arithmetic
or grammar. They originate in the
spirit. What then should public ed
ucation be but the development and
sirengtheneing of tho spirit?

Weather Forecast-Fair Thor-sdny
and Friday.
.Some Idea of th? visitors who have
come to Anderson to see the perform
ances of the "Blrlh of a Nation" can
be obtained from a statement made
by Capt. Archer of the BIuu ' Ridge
railway who stated yesterday that on
Tuesday they handled over POO pas
senger between Anderson and Wal
halla. All tra?na coming into and
going out of Anderson were crowded
and In several cases extra coaches
had to be provided.
"I enjoyed the great, picture very
much," stated Mr. G. N. C. Boleman
yesterday. "However, some of the
things portrayed were not true to tho
htstorclal happenings. There were
never any pitched battles between
.tho Ku Klux Klan and the negroes
and their leaders as was depicted at
one time in the picture. The work
01 the Ku Klux was done at night and
In secrecy. Some of the men In the
lower part of the state who had to
hide out because of being identified
with- the Ku Klux came to Townvillo.
I remember some of them stopped with
my wifefs father. Col. Trlbble. and I
knew them very well. Three years
ago when the state Old. Soldiers re
union was held in Anderson I became
acquainted with a gentleman from
Laurcim county wlio hod the same
name- as one of the men who had been
at Townvllle years previous. ? I be
gan to ask him about the other fel
low who had his name and finally be
Said that he remembered the people
throe very well for he was the same
man."
With' the rain of the past few days
many of the farmers are beginning to
sow peas in their stubble land. One
farmer stated yesterday that he in
tended to sow several acres to be
cut*as forage. AB usual there is a
demand for peas. It ia said they have
been 'selling for $1.50 and $1.25 thia
Benson, which is much cheaper than
they sold for several years ago.
There has been some complaint
about the number ot files In the walt
ing room ot the P. ft N. and several
.people had something to say about li
yesterday. There are no screen doors
and there 1B no way of keenping the
flies out.

taking him by the hand the French
man said: "Having served our coun
